A summons was then issued against the defendant, who
was fined £20 and £20 costs, and, in default, was committed
to prison for two months, with hard labour. I think
great credit is due to Inspectors Stevenson and Dewey for
the skill and zeal they displayed in this matter.
In concluding this report I should like to express my
great regret at the enforced retirement, on account of illhealth,
of Inspector McKay, who, for a period of 16 years,
faithfully served the Vestry as one of the Inspectors of
Nuisances, and whose high character and honesty of work
I have always fully appreciated; and I should wish also to
record my satisfaction with the excellent work which has
been carried out during the year by your present staff of
Inspectors.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. S. BRISTOWE.
